Alhamduallah the weekend has come and gone too fast enjoyed with the company of loved ones.

I took a sneaky 30 min away from serving and preparing meals to get my pictures done for my outfit as promised.

I’m lucky to have an awesome niece who’s willing to put up with my demands 😛 in search for those great shots.

I’ve had this dress for months but just never got around to making the required adjustments. It was extremely long and required a lot of work. Part laziness and not finding a tailor i trust just added to the delay.

I feel in love with it scrolling through Asos and it was mine in under a week thanks to their amazing express shipping. I loved the detailing and it’s imperfection to some extent. It reminds me of traditional Eritrean clothing. My mother use to crotchet the exact patterns on linen and sell them. She told me and couldn’t believe it so i went looking for it and I found some in my linen cupboard. i’m talking about over 25 years.
